@queenbekahboo, you do have a lot going on. It must be so frustrating to be so unwell, know that you have several underlying conditions, and to not get answers. I know that you said you've been shunted from specialist to specialist, but remain without answers. I wonder if you have been to Mayo Clinic or a university medical center where the specialists work together. It sounds like you need coordinated care with a multi-disciplinary team. Might that be a possibility for you for you to request an appointment at Mayo Clinic? Or do you live near a large university medical center?

I haven’t been to any of the places you named, but I do believe that’s what is needed. I keep being told by many whom have gone through pretty much identical symptoms and tests for years, only to find out they had some form of cancer. I’m not clinging to that, but I do believe I need to be tested for breast cancer on top of everything else going on. My body feels like it’s been attacked for a long time, and now my entire body is killing me and I feel, physically, like I’m dying. I can’t get anyone to take me serious, so currently I sit here and shrug. So very tired. I will look into Mayo or whatever I have access to. I need a team of Drs. Thank you for your advice. None of that even dawned on me. Brain fog.
